When an aging parent starts needing more help, families are suddenly faced with questions they never expected to answer.

Is it time to consider a move?
What should we be paying attention to?
What questions should we ask?
How do we know we're making the right decision?

The Making the Right Move Guide was created to help families understand their options, know what to look for, and begin preparing before a crisis forces decisions to happen quickly.

And if you want help putting what you learn into action, there’s an optional Companion Workbook designed specifically to go with the guide. It gives you a place to organize your observations, think through decisions, prepare questions for tours, and map out your next steps.

The guide gives you the information. The workbook helps you do something with it.

Start with the guide, then decide if you'd like the additional hands-on support of the workbook.

NOW HIRING: Full-time first/second shift, part-time Second/Third Shift and PRN (as needed)

Heart of Gold and a Brain That Works Required.

Full-Time First/Second Shift
Part-Time Third Shift Care Partner and PRN Care Partner
HolistiCare Homes | Elkhart, IN

Are you the kind of person who notices that Mrs. Smith didn't finish her bedtime tea and immediately wonders if something might be wrong?

Do you naturally straighten a picture on the wall, wipe the counter, fluff a pillow, or refill the ice tray without being asked?

Can you walk into a room, look around, and know what needs to be done?

If so, keep reading.
If not, this probably isn't your job.

HolistiCare Homes is not a facility.
It's a real home.

Our elders are cherished family members. We laugh together, cry together, celebrate together, and occasionally navigate life's hardest moments together.

We provide highly personalized care in a small home environment where residents are truly known, loved, and valued.

We are looking for a full-time THIRD shift and part-time FIRST/SECOND & PRN shift Care Partners to join our small, close-knit team.

This position is ideal for someone who values relationships, meaningful work, and takes tremendous pride in leaving things better than they found them.

The Right Person:
āœ” Loves older adults and treats them with dignity and respect.
āœ” Can work independently without constant supervision.
āœ” Notices problems before they become emergencies.
āœ” Doesn't wait to be told what to do.
āœ” Understands that if something needs done, you simply do it.
āœ” Is dependable. Extremely dependable.
āœ” Shows up on time, every time.
āœ” Takes ownership.
āœ” Understands that caring includes laundry, dishes, cleaning, comforting, documenting, observing, and sometimes simply sitting with someone who can't sleep.
āœ” Finds satisfaction in creating peace, safety, and comfort for others.

The Wrong Person:
āŒ Needs constant reminders.
āŒ Believes, "That's not my job."
āŒ Spends more time on their phone than engaging with residents.
āŒ Calls off regularly.
āŒ Watches problems and walks past them.
āŒ Waits for a checklist every day.
āŒ Needs to be managed minute by minute.
āŒ Is looking for "just a paycheck."

A Few Truths:
We train, support, coach and expect questions. But after training and your first 90 days, we expect you to think critically, take initiative, use good judgment, and function as an autonomous professional.

If you need frequent reminders to complete routine responsibilities, this position will not be a good fit.

You will often be the only awake team member in the home overnight.

Our residents and their families deserve someone who can be trusted to see what's going on, even on the night shift.

Several members of our team have been with us for years because they value meaningful relationships, autonomy, and being part of something special.

Exceptional employees have opportunities for expanded responsibilities, leadership, and increased compensation.

We hire carefully because our residents deserve extraordinary care and our team deserves exceptional coworkers.

Requirements:
• Life experience strongly preferred.
• Dementia experience is a plus.
• Reliable transportation.
• Excellent attendance history.
• Ability to pass background checks and pre-employment screening.

Compensation: $15-$20 per hour based upon demonstrated experience, reliability, and proven ability to work independently.

Here's the most important question:

Tell us about a time you noticed something important that others missed. What did you do?

To apply, visit our website and look for the CAREERS tab in the top right-hand corner of the page.

Because at HolistiCare Homes, "good enough" isn't good enough.

Old is the Goal.

How do you know when an aging parent may need more help?

Usually, it isn’t one big moment. It’s little things.

Mom seems a little less steady. Dad isn’t keeping up with meals like he used to. Medications are getting confusing. The house isn’t being maintained. You’re checking in more often—and quietly wondering if you should be doing more.

The Care Readiness Checklist gives you a place to step back and look at what’s actually happening.

Use it to identify changes, organize what you’re noticing, and get a clearer picture of where your parent may need additional support.

Because you don’t have to wait for a crisis to start paying attention.

Clarity now can help you make better decisions later.

When was the last time you did something with Mom or Dad just because it was fun? šŸ’•

Not because there was an appointment to get to. Not because something needed to be organized, checked, or taken care of.

Just because it was something you could enjoy together.

Recently, four of our residents enjoyed a special facial and makeup experience with Joan Garber, an Independent Mary Kay Consultant.

There were smiles, laughter, and memories of getting dressed up for special occasions. But what made the experience meaningful wasn't the makeup itself.

It was the opportunity to feel pampered, connect with others, and enjoy a little moment that was all about them.

In Shelley's latest blog, ā€œThe Small Things You Almost Skip Are Often the Ones That Matter Most,ā€ she shares how this experience reminded her that meaningful care isn't always about the big decisions or daily responsibilities.

Sometimes, it's about making room for the little things that bring someone joy. ā¤ļø

Today we would like to put the spotlight on another one of our amazing care partners here at HolistiCare Homes: Maria!

-

There are people who do what you ask them to do. And then there’s Maria.

She is the person who notices thing others don’talways notice, fixes what you didn’t know needed fixing and manages to have it handled before anyone ever has to ask.

If she sees something that isn’t right, chances are good it’ll be taken care of before the end of her shift. No announcement, fanfare, or ā€œHey Shelley, look what I did!ā€ She just gets it done.

And THAT is a quality I appreciate more than I can possibly explain.

What I’ve loved watching even more is the way Maria has naturally stepped into guiding some of our younger, less experienced team members. She takes them under her wing, shows them how things are done and helps them along without making a big production out of that either.

There’s something pretty special about watching experience get passed from one person to another. And then there's the willingness to accept training on technology, which our younger team members have more than willingly shown Maria how to manage.

In a small home like ours, every person matters. There isn’t a giant department somewhere down the hall to catch what someone else misses. We rely on people who pay attention, take ownership and care about the little things simply because the little things matter.

Maria is one of those people.

And if something around here mysteriously got done and nobody knows who did it... I have a pretty good idea who I could thank for it.

You know you should probably have Mom or Dad’s important information organized.

But then comes the bigger question: Where do you even start?

Medication information. Emergency contacts. Important documents. Care details. Questions you need answered. Things other family members should know.

It can feel like a lot—especially when you're already juggling everything else.

The Grab & Go Starter System was created to give families a manageable place to begin.

You don’t have to organize your parent’s entire life this weekend. You don’t need to have every answer.

You just need to start getting the essentials out of your head, out of random drawers and notes, and into one organized place.

A little preparation now can make a very big difference when you suddenly need that information later.

šŸ‘‰ Just fill out the contact form on our website and let us know you would like more information about the Grab & Go Starter System, and we'll send you the link right away! šŸ“–

A little fresh air, some time on the patio, and the chance to enjoy each other's company. šŸŒ¤ļø

At HolistiCare Homes, we believe the little moments matter just as much as the big ones. Whether it's sharing a conversation, enjoying the sunshine, or simply relaxing together, these are the everyday moments that help make a house feel like home.

And there's nothing quite like a beautiful day spent outside with good company!

A beautiful senior living community can make a great first impression. But you're not just choosing a building.

You're trying to understand what everyday life could look like for someone you love.

How will Mom spend her days?
Who will be caring for Dad?

How are changes in their needs handled?
What happens when something doesn't go according to plan?

Those are the things that can be easy to forget when you're walking through a beautiful space, taking in a lot of information, and trying to remember everything you wanted to ask.

That's why we created the Visit Prep Kit.

It helps you go into a senior living tour prepared—with questions to ask, things to notice, and space to think about what actually matters for your parent and your family.

Because a tour isn't just about asking, ā€œDo I like this place?ā€
It's about asking, ā€œCould this be the right place for Mom or Dad?ā€

When does helping Mom or Dad become too much for one person to carry?

It's a question many families struggle to answer.

You want to keep your loved one safe. You want them to be comfortable. You want to do everything you possibly can to make life easier for them.

But what happens when the current care arrangement starts affecting your health, your marriage, your finances, or your ability to simply enjoy time together?

Sometimes the most loving thing you can do is recognize that the current plan isn't working anymore.

That doesn't automatically mean assisted living is the answer. It might mean exploring home care, adult day services, or other ways to get the support your family needs.

And no matter which option you choose, staying involved and asking the right questions matters.

In Shelley's newest blog, ā€œAre We Helping... Or Just Holding On?ā€, she shares some uncomfortable truths about caring for aging parents, recognizing when it's time to rethink the plan, and making sure both you and your loved one have the opportunity to actually live—not just get through another day.

Some days are just better spent outside. ā˜€ļøšŸ’›

Our residents and care partners took advantage of the beautiful weather with a little patio time, good company, conversation, and a few puzzles to keep our minds busy.

Sometimes a comfortable chair, some fresh air, and people to enjoy it with are more than enough.

These are the everyday moments that make HolistiCare feel like home.
